S O R R Y, but this page — introducing She-philosopher.com’s HTML transcript of Lucy Hutchinson’s letter to Arthur Annesley, first Earl of Anglesey (1614–1686), written in 1675 and prefixed to the presentation copy of her MS. English translation of Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura (probably translated during the 1650s) — is still under construction.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope that you will return to check on its progress another time.
